Curfews Are Back in Santo Domingo
President Danilo Medina issued Decree 266-20, establishing differentiated curfews nationwide. The curfew measures follow the enacting of a new National State of Emergency starting 20 July for 45 days as per Decree 265-20 issued also on Monday, 20 July.
The government explained that the curfews respond to the differences among the National District and provinces regarding the spread of the disease and the rate of test-positivity. The government says this requires differentiated actions to achieve greater effectiveness in implementing public policies to combat Covid-19.
The most extended curfew will be from 5pm to 5am Monday through Friday and from 5pm to 5am on Saturdays and Sundays. It will be in effect in the National District and Santo Domingo province (Greater Santo Domingo). Greater Santo Domingo has more than 50% of the cases nationwide. It will also go in effect for 15 other provinces.
These curfews will go into effect as of 21 July for a 20-day period. The Presidency says that if the epidemiological stats evolve will determine whether these are extended.
The Presidency reminds all that face masks are mandatory in public places and recommends the use even in private places as an essential measure to control the spread of the disease.
